DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[MarcParis]

Great minds always meet each other..

1st super combo (nice saving on tax/shipment cost) will be to have :

• dan A4 SFX case available directly from US
• Ncase M1 directly available from EU

Next target will to be have the smallest ATX case (<30l), full ALU, with tempered glass, SFX power supply, compatible with WC dual Rad 240mm, bulgin power button..

There's a thread on [H] for that.

DA NCASE? Coincidence? I think not...

There's a thread on [H] for that.

No chances for micro ATX.. On SLI/XFire, as I've already tested such combo, in aircooling, it's far too noisy, hot while in load..
Lian-Li has made a very compact and interesting ATX case : PC-A51 (44L) with possibility to put 240 rad on top and 140 rad in front as exhaust. Intake is coming from rear and bottom.

 

[iFreilicht]

I am fully aware that you're asking for ATX and there is a lot of discussion going on around that. A few ATX designs were presented in the thread.

 

[MarcParis]

ah ok I'll have a closer look then..thanks for the link!

Less than 24 hours to go!

 

[Phuncz]

If my quick calcs are correct, that's over 1500 cases, wow !

 

[BirdofPrey]

That may not be good news.
Logistics are a pain in the ass.

Dan purposely limited the initial offering to keep the logistics "easier". IIRC, he's having all the cases shipped to him for integration and then will reship individually to the backers.

Well done @dondan. Shows that SFF is very much in demand nowadays which is fantastic!

 

[MathiasLindberg]

Congratulations on the Kickstarter! I hope one day to purchase an A4-SFX myself. It's by far my favorite layout, because it doesn't many many sacrifices, and it uses as much as possible length for the graphics card, which matters to us gamers!

 

[veryrarium]

I noticed this a few months back but kept forgetting to ask about this. Was there any explanation dondan gave regarding why he states the spec as follows on his site as well as in the OP of this thread and that on [H]:

Case Dimensions (H x W x D): 200 x 112 x 317mm, 7.25L

My calculator spits out 7.100800L when multiplying those first three numbers. He states overall dimensions explicitly as well:

Overall Dimensions: 205 x 112 x 327mm (including feet and rear protrusions)

so I did other possible combos like 205*112*317 and 200*112*327 but they are larger than 7.25L.

The A4 thread on [H] has become so long and I can't find a relevant post on this.

Here two possible versions of an window side panel for the A4-SFX. What do you think?

 

[BirdofPrey]

I kinda like the first one.

 

[Phuncz]

I also like the first one the most, but the second one does look interesting as well due to simplicity. The first option would keep the A4 case's same volume and it looks rather unique too, that's why I prefer that one.

 

[K888D]

They both look great, I prefer the look of the second glass one. My concern would be that without direct intake vents (positioned directly in front of the gpu fan) you will choke the gpu and see higher temps.

 

[MarcParis]

I prefer the second version. It's more sober for me.
